Does anybody happen to know how to reverse engineer a pre-existing miniature audio Transformer and build a new one from scratch with identical characteristics?

sounds like a job for Chris Tarnovsky

It looks like integrated circuits are his specialty. Winding Transformers is a whole different ballgame and it's pretty much an art form.
I know the primary winding is half as many wraps or turns as the secondary winding for a 4:1 impedance ratio. Frequency response is also critical and I don't even know how to factor that into the equation -
Yes.
But I don't have time.
Winding transformers is easy once you know how.
Done enough of them in my life time.
Got a setup to test and map transformers for prototyping. You can build one too with a frequency generator and a bunch of parts.
I don't have time to explain what, why or how, but here are a few links for you.

A majority of "miniature" audio stuff is OTS or can be ordered from places like Mouser by the way unless you are building some kickbutt tube amp - then you have to go to Erik Johansen or someone like that who does $300 transformers in chrome.Blaskowitz, TheDude1969, handlebar and 1 other person Thank this. -
I've already seen some high-dollar Transformers made in Sweden for recording industry but that's just a little out of my price range especially since Telex used to sell replacement Transformers for $2.50 a piece.

Mouser doesn't seem to have anything that quite fits the criteria
-
Already read that Bill Whitlock book although most of that stuff went over my head.

I wonder if anybody happens to know where to locate a miniature audio Transformer with a 4:1 impedance ratio suitable for matching a 150 ohm element to a 600 ohm input something along the lines of this

Reason for edit: impedance ratio -
I'm also looking for a miniature audio Transformer with a 2.5:1 impedance ratio for my AKG D 58 which is 240 ohms
